You try to remain calm throughout, but the sight of the bear as he comes sniffing at the mouth of the cave unsettles you more than a little.
It takes an experimental step forward and sees no reaction from you. It steps forward again. You reach down slowly and pick up a burning stick from the fire, waving it a little before you in the hopes of scaring the creature off. This does little more than infuriate the bear.
It stands up on its hind legs reveling its full height of eight feet, just a little over a foot taller than you. You swallow hard and wave the burning wood before it. It swats the branch away, skittering out on the cavern floor.
Your club is just a little behind you. You aren't sure if you can reach it in time to use it against the bear before it comes crashing down on you.
